Are you an adventurous soul who loves to speed down the road on a bike? If you’ve found a bike that you’ve been dreaming about for months, but its seller is in a different state, don’t feel discouraged. Shipping a motorcycle is very easy when you’re working with RGV Auto Transport Service.

Here are 3 things to do to ship your bike from the seller to your garage.

1.    Choose a Shipping Company

You must research about different shipping companies and get quotes. Some companies offer certain routes that you may prefer, and others offer better prices. That’s why you must get quotes from a few companies before deciding.

You can research shipping companies from third-party review websites and check out customer reviews. When you’re researching, keep the following questions in mind:

• Is the company trustworthy?
• Have they been in the business for long?
• Do they have fair pricing?
• Do they specialize in transporting motorcycles?

Don’t solely rely on customer reviews on their websites but check out the reviews on Yelp and Google.

2.    Select a Shipment Method

You can ship your motorcycles in open and enclosed carriers. How are they different?

Enclosed trailers can save your motorcycle from weather and road debris—making it the safest way to transport it. However, this method is expensive and would take longer. It’s because they can carry more motorcycles than closed trailers, and companies will wait for bookings to fill the trailer before they send it out.

Open trailers have no protection for your bike from flying rock and sand and weather. They’re a cheaper option. They’re also quick as they don’t carry as many bikes and are sent out more frequently.

3.    Talk to the Seller

As you won’t be present when the delivery company picks up the bike from the seller, you’ll have to request the seller if they can manage it for you.

Before the pickup, the shipping company will call you. Make sure you communicate it to the seller so that they’re present when the driver arrives. If the seller is comfortable with it, give their contact information to the shipping company to coordinate with them.
